I asked my Dr about memory loss so he had his nurse give me a screening memory test. I came in the mid-range, so he ordered a neuro work-up with a CT scan!!!!

I think a 20 minute screening exam is BS. I'm going to my family doctor and if she thinks it's worth pursuing, I'll insist on a more extensive memory test by a psychologist before I freak out over one "test". I asked some of the people I know and they couldn't do some of the things she asked me. "What's the date?" Who knows the date unless they check their phone?? Unless it is a special occasion, who cares? "Count backwards by 7's from 50" Go ahead and try that! Complete BS.

I do know my memory isn't what it used to be, but I'm 58 years old, and have been on psych drugs for 30 years. What am I going to do about it? Stop my meds? I don't think so, thank you very much.

I'm stuck with a declining memory. I adapt by cues and notes on my phone. Oh yeah, and that's how I keep track of the date too.
